Once you get to the endgame of Palworld, you'll encounter plenty of insanely powerful Pals. One such Pal is none other than the unique and mysterious Dandilord. Fighting and capturing this Pal is not for the faint of heart. Luckily, we have all the info you need in our guide, so you won't be caught off guard. Take a look below to learn about Dandilord's location, breeding combinations, stats, skills, and more before you try adding this Palworld beast to your roster.

Dandilord Location in Palworld

In Palworld, most Pals wander around the Palpagos Islands. However, Dandilord is available only in one location and as an Alpha Field Boss. As mentioned above, this is an endgame Pal. Specifically, one that can only be found in the World Tree area. Once you've reached this massive and high-level zone, you can find the Dandilord at the northernmost part of the reddish biome. The closest fast travel point is the Rotmist Root statue.

Hatching Dandilord (Breeding Guide)

If you're not too keen on fighting the massive Dandilord Field Alpha Boss, you can always try your luck at collecting Huge Verdant Eggs from the wilds. These have a chance of hatching a level one Dandilord, but the odds aren't great. These are all of the Pals that could hatch from a Huge Verdant Egg you find while exploring:

• Dandilord
• Vaelet
• Elizabee
• Mammorest
• Petallia
• Petallia Ignis
• Broncherry Aqua
• Wumpo Botan
• Verdash
• Ophydia
• Lyleen
• Silvance

Typically, if you don't want to wait around for a random egg to randomly have the Pal you need, you could use a Breeding Farm to get guaranteed results. However, only one Pal breeding combination will result in a Dandilord. Unfortunately, that pair is a Dandilord & Dandilord. This is great news for anyone wanting multiple Dandilords, but it's not that helpful when you're trying to get your first one.

How to Defeat and Capture Dandilord in Palworld

Fighting a Dandilord is a Palworld endgame activity for a reason. This Pal is strong, so you'll need to come prepared. For starters, it spawns at a whopping level 78. Ensure you and your Pals are appropriately leveled for such a monstrous fight. Second, its dual elemental typing of Grass and Dark is fairly unique. Luckily, this means you could bring a Fire or Dragon Pal to fight it, but it also means any Ground or Neutral Pals shouldn't be used. The most devastating attacks at Dandilord's disposal are its exclusive skills: Poison Promenade and Toxic Dance. These two moves will cause the critter to scuttle around while heaping poisonous clouds all over the arena. Dodging out of the way isn't too hard, but the clouds will linger for a time. Often, while the clouds are still around, Dandilord will rush you and force you to dodge. Do your best not to dodge into these lingering poison clouds, or you'll be poisoned and in need of a cure. It's very likely that you will be poisoned once or twice during this fight, so bring a Pal with some healing effects. Petallia, for example, has a Partner Skill that can heal you by 75% of your base health when activated. Similarly, Teafant can restore your health to 30% if it falls below that threshold just by being in your party. A Pal like Felbat that gives you lifesteal is also a great solution.
